The story of this beautiful couple began nearly 6 years ago at a Buffalo Wild Wings nonetheless. Dylan was participating in his annual Fantasy Football draft and Marianna arrived with her friend Kaitlyn who was dating Dylan's friend Joey at the time. She caught Dylan’s eye immediately and although he did not take a shot at that moment, Marianna was officially on his radar. After a few weeks of hesitancy, Kaitlyn made an Instagram post featuring Marianna and Dylan finally took his shot and asked Kaitlyn if it would be an ok idea for him to private message her. Moments later… Kaitlyn gave the green-light and the rest was history. Early on, the two experienced a number of dates and adventures as they got to know each other and further their relationship. Surf Taco was always the go-to meetup dinner spot after work, and Asbury Park served as the prime location for drinks on Saturday nights. After meeting the families and becoming more acclimated to each other’s daily lives; then came the trips to Atlantic City, sporting events, vacations, and holiday parties. From the COVID era of hibernation to the beautiful sceneries of Greece, Marianna and Dylan had opened and closed many doors along their journey. The captivating book these two have written together was no where near complete, just ready for a new chapter…

To start the new chapter off with a bang, Dylan made a lifechanging purchase. With the help and the blessing of both Marianna’s parents and his own, Dylan secured Marianna’s dream engagement ring thanks to some additional inspiration from Pinterest boards (Thank you Mary & Kaitlyn). After keeping the secret for quite some time and with the immense help from their families, Dylan was able to coordinate the perfect candlelit dinner proposal and present the ring to his soon-to-be forever partner. Surrounded by loved ones at the beautiful and hospitable Loucas Restaurant, the couple & their families toasted to the start of their new and everlasting life together, leaving many more blank pages of this chapter still to be filled in…
